Soccer
Williams, 1964Hello, just realized I am missing a third of my sound effects 
.
It looks like there is an arm which pushes down from the match unit everytime a single point is scored. I was wondering if anyone had a description or photo of what the mechansim should look like which would complete this, and actually ring the bell.
Thank you for your time.

You might be missing some kind of washer around the clapper, but mostly it just looks like the bell has slipped down and out of range of the clapper.

There's a good picture of your match unit on IPDB

The bell position is correct.
Mine has what appears to be a heavy ring/washer on the post that remains on yours. I’m trying to figure out a way to apply a rubber bushing between the ring washer and the post. Otherwise mine hits the bell, just not as nice a tone as I know it is capable of.

MikeO, that looks like a pretty thick washer, maybe 1/4"? Does it slip off easily? it almost looks like there is a bevel on the inside?
thanks again-
I’d say 3/16” thick.
It looks factory, especially compared to the picture above from the parts catalog. It could be a bevel. Seems like there should be some form of rubber bushing between the washer and stud. Mine is way too loose.
I know Gottlieb RM games inside and out bit these Williams games are new to me so I’m not sure how this is supposed to be set up.
Awesome, thank you again for the picture and details. I should be able to get this dinging again . I'm really not into the sports theme for pinball, but the art and gameplay really standout for me. Art for the era, and gameplay because everyone who plays it really enjoys the flow and quality.

I would try a washer that fits over the peg, held on by an e-clip that snaps on to the peg. If that fails, scrounge replacement arm.
Did you ever find a solution for the sloppy washer wacker-thingee? Looks like I am missing not only the bell shell, but the sloppy washer too.

No, I messed around with different washers and clips to hold it in place, but over time it would manage to slip off. The 'E' clip as suggested above should do it tho. Great game, well worth the bit of work to get it sounding properly. Mines in sotrage until I can build some more space unfrotunately...
